Review on Milwaukee Electric Tool 2688 20 Cordless by Luis Esquivel

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't live up to expectations.

First review on Amazon because I was very disappointed. FIRST: This is by no means a replacement for a cheap heat gun. It takes about 20 seconds for the device to heat the shrink butt connector and maybe another 30 seconds for it to shrink (compared to a $10 mic or port cargo gun, which starts and finishes in just a few seconds ). I ended up leaving it because it's good for vinyl, paint, and resin work where having tons of air/heat output isn't important. It was originally purchased for mobile electrical work where shrink connectors were used, but that just doesn't make sense. I bought the largest battery and it lasted about 2 hours with minimal use. Every time I ran it, the bar on the battery gauge seemed to disappear. I LOVE Milwaukee instruments. All my wireless devices are from them. from a drill to a stapler (which is awesome). This is the first time I've thought about giving something back. i wanted to love it but it's normal.

Pros
  • hot air guns
Cons
  • discontinued model
